Quarry Homecare provides CQC-registered home care across Dingle and the surrounding L8 area of south Liverpool, supporting adults of all ages to remain safely and independently at home. We are based in Garston, directly south of the Dingle, and have been delivering domiciliary care across this part of the city for over 16 years. Whether care is arranged privately, funded through a Direct Payment from Liverpool City Council, or put in place following a hospital discharge, our team will assess your situation and build a care plan shaped entirely around the individual.
The Dingle population is predominantly younger and working-age, with a significant proportion of residents who will be eligible for local authority support under Liverpool City Council’s adult social care framework. For many of those residents, the most relevant route to quality home care is through a Direct Payment, an allocation from Liverpool City Council that gives individuals assessed as eligible the freedom to choose and manage their own care provider. Quarry Homecare accepts Direct Payment arrangements, works within Liverpool City Council’s framework, and charges fees benchmarked against the council’s published rates. Whether care is funded through a Direct Payment or arranged privately, the standard of care we deliver does not change.
Dingle also sits close to a transition zone. Its southern edge borders Aigburth, where housing is more owner-occupied and demographics shift toward older families with greater financial means. Some residents on this boundary will be appropriate for privately arranged and self-funded care. Others, particularly younger adults living with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, or long-term health conditions, need flexible, consistent support regardless of funding route.
Primary care in Dingle is provided through Dingle Park Practice at The Riverside Centre for Health on Park Street. For residents returning home following treatment at Royal Liverpool University Hospital, Quarry Homecare can mobilise a package within 24 to 48 hours of referral. Liverpool City Council administers adult social care across the area, and the Care Act 2014 means-test threshold sits at £23,250.
